One of the freight train conductor who has a smattering of the telegraph business was compelled to take bis own orders before he could leave Spartanburg Tuesday morning. Mr. Jason Norman, who has leased the Murphy ice house received a c.u* of ice Mondiy. This is the first shipment to reach town. We b.sspsak for Mr. Norman a liberal patronage.

It is said there were only four operators at work between Charlnf.tw nnrl Ailiini?! Thm.I-h# m/v-nin 1 A large force of hands are busily at work at the Monarch Mill site. The foundation Ins been grated out, and the water mam lias been laid from the mili site to the brauch, an oflico built, and everything is being pushed along at a rapid rate. Mr. Fant hopes to get the mill ready for tho next cotton crop. Win. Goudelock, colored, had the misfortune hist week to loose one of his houses by lire. He lost all his fodder, provisions and roughness, of which lie had a sufficient quantity to make his crop. William is one of the most industrious and reliable negro men in the county and enjoys the respect of the community who sympathize with him iu liis loss. Messis. Geo. Moore & Co.. who bad the contiact of grading the Union and Gl^nn Springs railroad to the UulTalo mill site, having finished their work in Union some time since, moved their outtit Tuesday from Un on to Gainsvllle, Ga., where they will put in the railrou. siding for the million dollar mill at that place, which is to be built by the 1'acolet Manufacturing Co. Two obst rejK?rous negroes who got an idea in their heath that they could with impunity paint the town of Jonesville a Vermillion hue, found to their sorrow that it wouldn't work, and got considerably the worst end of the bargain. They wero brought to Union Monday and introduced to the chain gang overseer, who has need for just such characters on the public roads. EA.STER SERVICES. sj The I'irst Methodist Church and P1 the Episcopal Church Iienuti- ''' fully Decorated With Lovely ^ Flowers and Evergreens. j;, The pulpit front at tlie First Method- f.j ist Church was literally covered with beautiful Mowers, geraniums, ferns. lilies rd and evergreens, artistically arranged, in a manner most pleasing to the eye. The w organ also received lil>eral attention c, from the decorators and a num'ocr of j, flowers, evergieens, etc.,* wero arranged -p along its top in an attractive style. 0, Morning services, appropiiate to the m occiision were conducted l>y It *v. Mr. Massabiau, who took for his text the'JOth verse of the 1.1th chapter of 1st Corin- ;l( tliians. 4*15ut now is Christ risen from cc tho dead and become the first fruits of <r;j them that slept." Mr. Massabeau's nor- y\ mon was a n asterly efTort, and was favorably commented upon hy a numlxn of those present. He sjiiil that l\iul ha I received information that there had been contention among the members of the church of Corinth, some claiming that J,e the resurrection of Jesus Christ had no J'J significance of the resurrection of all men. j1! A.i:d recognizing that the evil of such ,u contention wuimi liKeiy cause much " trouble atul discord in tin church, Paul wrote this letter, one of the most conv 11 ing and powerful from tlto pen of fii-i inspired writer, in which ho sets forth the fact that resurrection after deith? as illustrated in the resurrection of Christ c.'. ?is the plan of Cod, the Creator, in si' such an intelligible and unmistakablo I>1 manner, as to convince the mo t skeptic- "1 al. In proof of the fact that Christ 1 ira self had risen, after being crucitied and " buried, he showed from sjriptu-.o th it Christ was seen lhst by M uy Si igd dine, *") afterwards by Cephas, then of tlto twelve, afterwards by over live lmudte I brethren 1 1 at once, of whom the greater number vv were still alive after that ha was seen of 'u James then by all th? Aposths, and list ?* by mo (Paul) who claimed to b t the least s 1 of all the Apostles because lie bad parse- sf! cutcd the church of God. Paul said that if Christ bo not risen then tlieir preach- 111 ing was vain ami our faith vain also, and the preacheis were false wtne3-ot of ;l! God, and all that have fallen asleep in '!)l Christ are perished, that if in this life ',r only we have hope in Christ wo are of c'' all men the most miserable. I'!> Mr. Massabeau said that when we 1 ly x)'' our loved ones to rest in the city of the r'< dead, we should not allow our giief to ^ overcome us, bat we should rather lo >!; ,1SI forward lo the harvest?the resurrection ?when they will be surely raised up m gain, illustrating, he said: Should we g > ,i? Co a farmer's home just after he hid ^h planted his seel for the next crop, we should find him in crape and mourning with all of hia Irouschold, and should ^ isK nun wiuit was the meaning of this mourning and sadness, and lie replied that rw he had selecte 1 lib best grain t'rom liis biai-t crop, and carefully cared for it all "i through the winter month), and hid w just planted it in tlio ground and was w mourning over its loss. We Would natur- w ally think he was not familiar with the bi laws of nature, that requires that eicli i'i -eed shall die unto itso'.f to bring forth ?1 like seed for the harvest. The grave i" yards and cemeteries, said he, was God's vi farms, from which lie would bring forth rr Ills harvest of bodies incorruptible, sown 'J' natural bodies, raised wp spiritual bodies. t\ He said a writer had aptly expressed it 01 when he called the cemetery God's acre, tl vVith true Christian faitli said lie in the final resurreetioa and reunion, wo could di feel that our dead loved ones were ever with us in the spiritual body, and we be- P' lieve they are. Have you, dear reader, who have lost a dear loved one, never d; felt a sudden claim, pleasant, or happy 1 feeling come over you, in some h >ur when your thoughts were centered upon ;U the dear face and form that used to be, tc and you picture in your mind the inci- J'1 dents in the life of that loved one gone I-1 out of your home, mayhap many years, L' hut in these moments of uieditatiou how ni vivid the picture, how well you remem- fil i>er the voice, forever hushed to you now, tr how familiar t!ie footsteps. Maybe it 11 was a dear little child, whom you could P' hardly give up, then you hear the pratt- 11 tin<r little feet, you feel its little sunn ai around your neck once more, but it is tl not there, and the little shoes ;ire still treasured, and the tali chair that used to sit at the table is now put away, and your heart almost breaks anew when you again remember that you h ive planted this loved one in God's Acre, then may at Ih! a sudden calm comes over you, the c. tears cease to 11 >w, the chunking setisa- U lion is gone, the burden of grief seems it to have been mystc: iously lifted from V you. Have you ever experienetd this? si rben you have, we think, had your loved b one again with you in the spiritual body, a ministering unto )ou in your hour of !> grief. a Mr. Massabeau used another iliustra- tl tion in I he rapid maturing of one among v many seed sown, as an indication of b what the,other seed of the same kind A would bring forth, to show that Christ's f. resurrection from the dead was an illus- o trution of the fact that all other bodies u would also be raised up. In conclusion be repeated a touching poem, looking to the meeting over there, of the father v\iti? the son who had gone befoie. This father felt the spiritu il bo ly of tli? sou .> hovering around him, but when lie would (j look he "was not there." a AT TUB EPISCOPAL CIIURCII. t The usual Easter afternoon- service v was held in the church of the Nativity P conducted by the* L'astor ltev. Mr. Guig " nurd. The church was handsomely h decorated, as is always the case upon " these Easier tide occasions. Tne church ? pulpit, chancel, memorial stone', etc, h were handsomely bordered and trimmed t \yith evergreen and Mowers, while each M window contained a beautiful wreath of n IIjwers suriouiuled with evergreen and the entire lower wail at the back of the church was covered with cedar and othei groenery. Mr. Guignard addressed his remarks l principally to the children and in a very \ comprehensive manner explained the e meaning of the name and occasion ol $ Easter, and the meaning of the word ;1 Sepulcher the place where the body of v the Lord lay. He used the words ' Why l seek ye the living among the dead," as * his text, and mildly criticised the two v women who had gone to the Scputcher \ that early morning, the llrst Easter morn- t iug, for the purpose of placing herbs and u rices on tin: Kxlv. I?e said they should ither have shown th* it faith in the romise that. Christ would ris? the third ?y, and have gone for tlie purpose of .voting the lisen Lord. Ilis sermon was ry inter; sting and was listened to by a rco congregation. There was no preaching in the lJapti.-.t lurch on account of the Pastor lfev. . M.

The summing up of the situation on lis road are about as follows : It seems that, the Sontln ro railroad !i-ials in anticipation of tlio strike seired as many out sid-i operators as posb'e and held them in readiness, liv *] itti ig them on at small points as night . en. where i' was very evident that no CI gilt men were absolutely nee led. Mr. ji r. E Meyer, formerly cloik ao Union pot was among this lid, and was sent Carlisle as n'ght operator. The operator at Santuc being advised . at the strike would occur 011 Mia 11th, ent out 011 the. 10th and went 1:1 to Co- tl mbi.i to assist in some committee work the O. It. T. His place was tilled the 'V 1113 day by a substitute. When the i, rikc was r ill.-d 011 tie' ojH'ia'or at Carlo walked out, and Mr. Moyer was J ado d iv operator at one;. ? The former operator was day operator .1 * -T* - ? * * * i?l 11*3 ClllSeU UJ? liH <111 UUil eked Mover out, who told him all right, ! would sit on tlio platform and issue earuncc e.i'ds to the trains on blank q i,kv. lie was told that it lie did they ' mild go together, Moyer replied ail ;ht clear yoaiself for action as I am ling to do it. It seems that Mr. Moyer ^ ul a gun with him in the olli;e for proetion while thereat night. No. 01 the * orning fieight came along ami Moyer ? j-.ied a clearane 5 to them. The agent cn threatened to have Mover at rested v carrying concealed weapons, and eat off. When No. US, the passenger 01 tli, came along Mover cleared it ami ,m < up 011 it as far as Santuc, where he mained until No. Id came down. lie >arded it and went hack. Upon arriv- ] g at Carlisle lie cleared theni again and cut on it in to Columbia. The otlice J as therefore kept elosed until a special as sent up from Columbia with an opera?r and otli;i,ds 011 board, and iliey broke ito the depot and installed the new k-rator. The citizens of Carlisle protest 1 an article to tli; State of Monday in a igorous 111 inner. To which Supt. Welles plied that lie had 110 intention of ivtl ictig 011 the good citizens of Carlisle, but iiind it necessary to force a way into Ins ,vn building to 103111113 the business of ic 10 wl. The operator at Alston went out Sunly and the agent at Peake's, across the ver, is doing tlie double act for both aces. Tno operator at P.icolet went out Sunly, and the agent is doing double duty > agent and operator. It is hard to arn tin true situation as both parties e claiming that everything is working ?their satisfaction. There is some tall irns being told on one side or the other. 1 several places the citizens have shown uit they sympathize with the operators, id the general conclusion is that the lilrouls are experiencing considerable ouble especially in the movement of Olghtfl, which are congested at rcveral lints. Bogus telegrams and ordeis <ve been used to add to the confusion id assist in delating and lieing up aius. Mill Men Visit Union. Messrs. Geo. W. Sullivan, Capt. McIvieatid das P.
